The show made its first on-air apology the following week after being contacted by Longet’s lawyers. Then-announcer Don Pardo read a statement saying: “It is desirable to correct any misunderstanding that a suggestion was made that, in fact, a crime had been committed. The satire was fictitious and its intent only humorous. This is a statement of apology if the material was misinterpreted.”
